Orthophoria

Orthophoria is a condition of binocular fixation in which the lines of vision meet at the object toward which they are directed, and considered as a normal condition of balance of the ocular muscles of the two eyes.[1][2][3] The condition opposite of Orthophoria, is called heterophoria.[3]
